Recorded for Junior Reid's record label, the single appeared under the name Perry Mason, a nickname Mason had picked up during his childhood due to his ability to settle arguments. He always preferred the country to the city since it was easier to meditate there and as Mason claims, "I can communicate with the birds and the trees." After hooking up with David House, who had successfully guided singer Capleton to international fame, this spiritual side of Mason began to flourish. In 1995 he became a member of the Rastafarian branch Bobo Ashanti, changed his performing name from Perry Mason to Jah Mason, and began recording conscious reggae where the message was as important as the music. Jamaican hits like "My Princess Gone" and "Lion Look" and guest shots on a few Jah Cure singles appeared before the full-lengths Keep Your Joy (Ghetto Technology) and Unlimited (Reggae Vibes) both landed in 2002. Never Give Up (On The Corner) from 2004 found him working with international producers including Dan "Piloni" Kark from Israel. The 2006 album Princess Gone: The Saga Bed appeared on the VP label, which was distributed by the worldwide giant Universal.

The entertainment industry is a very dark world. Please pray for any family member or a friend who’s involved. You have to be strong mentally & physically to overcome the negative obstacles placed in front of you. Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Prince, Dennis Brown, Baby Wayne just to name a few are some of our stars that are victims of the dark industry. Stay strong Jah Mason !!!

First time I heard jah mason music i had to collect more of his vibes,everywhere I went always played music aloud so I've promoted many musicians throughout my life,but mainly the music was my own soulfood..

@Teach Dem I'm so happy to see a prominent person letting others know the significance of farming. The great America that many wishes to visit or migrate to is only great because they can feed their own people. Many will go to the Americas to farm but failed to do so in their own land. It's hard to fathom why. There need to be more focus on farming. We are importing too much illnesses along with the foods we import.

Teach Dem

I blessings my friend, I hope a few will listen and start their own farms

He got me at PLAN B . As a businessman & huge fans of Reggae & African music, we have constantly advocated for always having a PLAN B . Keep those eggs in different baskets you will always stay afloat. Farming is a phenomenal trade & only fools will look down on a farmer.

Eliman Gibba

Robert Grant that is a very weak argument. Money buys food. You can always live with money, it is how you use your money, friend.

Jah Mason, One of the Greatest eno. watching this interview I can tell you that this man is responsible for a lot of the greatest hits from many of the Big Artistes in the buzniz. I think because of Ego and unfair business practices he doesn't write for them no more. Great Musician and Writer like Angel Doolas.

Never hear Teach talk so much in an interview, lol..I enjoyed it. I love farming tho it was frowned upon in my household when I was growing up. Now I do my own successful backyard farming in the summer just for family & friends. Its rewarding and therapeutic.Composting is something I love doing as well to replenish the earth. Jah Mason you're awesome, I would listen you talk all day.

Yes teach you putting in the work,and you're getting great results, because the social media,is gravitating to your contents rapidly,they are clean, very conscious, literally master piece,and most of these entertainers,are people that we really want to hear about their journey,good or bad,the experiences that they have had can mold us and others to be better aware,of what to expect if we trod the same journey,so much respect to you again,and keep up the great work.

Louis Harriett

Listening to this interview and I’m gonna share an idea with you, this interview is very inspiring, I think you should interview some hard working influential people who start from nothing to something , so that the kids can learn that they can use other avenues to accomplish in life, and maintain your format. I listen to other people interview the same artist, but when you interview them you get more information, perfect example is Marcia Griffith.

Another incredible interview Teach Dem. Blessings and honor Jah Mason. I see you were raised by a strong Mother, she instilled in you principles and proper manners.
